I believe it becomes a stopover when the break is over 24 hours. I had this issue once, with a connection of exactly 24 hrs, and it was allowed as a transfer. The starfile once had this definition but not now. Googling for it brings it as an IATA definition, however I don't know if it is current so I prefer not to post the link, just in case.

129N .
130N . 1. A STOPOVER IS A BREAK OF JOURNEY OVER 24 HOURS.
Edited to add: and this is the index entry of the IATA document, in case someone wants to provide the current text:
